Motif/lesstif

Hi,
I've been writing an app in GTK2+ and might convert to motif/lesstif.
Are there any active email lists on motif? The ones i've tried are
empty. Is lesstif actively maintained? (their list is also dead)
Is motif the most popular commercial unix widget kit?

Yes, Motif is the most popular GUI for commercial UNIX systems (Sun, SGI,
etc.). If you have specific questions, you could ask them here. If you have
a service contract with your computer vendor, you can usually send them
software questions as well.

Re: Motif/lesstif

It would be extremely interesting to know your motivation for such
convertion. I am in no way discouraging you to convert, though, quite
vice versa.

This newsgroup (comp.windows.x.motif) is a good place for asking
questions. But Motif is so extremely well documented that usually one
can easily find the answer to her question from online documentation
and/or googling. There are some tutorials/books available for free
download, too.

Good question, actually. How would you measure popularity? But anyway,
apart from Open Source operating systems I am not aware of any
commercial Unix variant which would not use some Motif-based GUI as a
default desktop. Please, correct me if I am wrong.
